Trailer for LUV YA BUNCHES, by Lauren Myracle

Check out this book trailer for Lauren Myracle's newest book, LUV YA BUNCHES. The target audience for this one is "tween girls," but heck, I'm 42 and I LOVED it!

For a detailed review of the book, click on the following: http://pettushs.blogspot.com/2009/08/love-ya-bunches-by-lauren-myracle.html

It is also viewable in full screen at: http://animoto.com/play/gzYqBauGVk80J7LzIHGdNw

I had a fantastic time creating this trailer, because I was fortunate enough to be able to get the author's input along every step of it's creation. Lauren Myracle is a brilliant author who knows exactly what teens and tweens are looking for in books. I am honored to say, "Hey! I know her!" I hope you enjoy the trailer, and that you'll read this book once it's published.

FREDRICA MCFROODLE AND THE TRUTH ABOUT HUMILITY posted by Mrs. Schauer

FREDRICA MCFROODLE AND THE TRUTH ABOUT HUMILITY
by Joanna Weaver
AR:  Yes

This delightful story is based on Philippians 2:3 and tells the story of a little girl named Fredrica McFroodle, who is good at everything she tries to do...in fact, she just so happens to be the BEST at everything.  If you don't believe me, just ask HER...she'll be sure and tell you all about how great she is!  She walks around with her nose in the air, feeling superior to everyone she meets.  That is, until the spelling bee...when something happens that knocks Fredrica right off of that pedestal she's placed herself upon. What happens?  You'll have to read the book to find out!  :-)
